Vehicle Description
The 1977 Datsun 280Z is a cool and appreciating Japanese classic.
But this one also adds a ton of custom attitude with a full Pro
Street upgrade that includes performance-built 383 stroker V8,
upgraded powertrain, custom interior, and a sleek look that
instantly announces this one is something extra special.
The Electric Blue with Stardust metallic element loves to radiate
in the sunshine and draw extra attention to this special coupe. But
that's far from the only custom touch. This has a sporty and sleek
front end with a custom bumper, bright mesh grille, and louvered
hood. Plus, the clear headlights with paint-matching blue-dot
center is a nice detail. There's a full custom graphics package
with full-length pinstripes, custom pinstriping around the Datsun
badge up front, and a callout on the side proudly announcing the
upgrade in power. Not only will the full-width rear spoiler remind
you of a Camaro Z/28, but also so will the Camaro's taillight
package that was expertly integrated. It's no wonder the custom
pinstriping on the rear proudly announces this has American
Muscle.
Just like the exterior, the interior is quite custom, and it goes
for the bold. The silver pinstripe outside gets you ready for the
custom silver door panels and dash. This has all the right
performance-ready upgrades, like the racing bucket seats, RCI
five-point harnesses, and rear safety cage w/fire extinguisher. You
have a proper B&M ratchet shifter, and the Grant GT sports
steering wheel is on a tilt column so you can get a clear view to
the dash full of AutoMeter gauges. There are provisions for a
stereo system controlled through a pop-up LCD screen for the
AM/FM/CD/XM stereo w/aux input. But really, we know your favorite
soundtrack begins under the hood.
There's nothing Japanese about the engine bay. It has plenty of
American style flair on the bright and smooth inner walls, and they
funnel all your attention to the V8 in the middle. This is a 383
cubic-inch stroker motor that's built with go-fast goodies like
aluminum heads, a four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and
headers that add power wile contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. And this ultra-tidy engine bay also reveals nice
supporting components, like the MSD ignition/distributor and
aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The motor is said to produce 451
horsepower, and the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is a
stout unit built for that kind of power. You can even shift it
yourself for the ideal powerband on demand. This has been upgraded
to the beefier R200 rear end to confidently deliver power to the
rear wheels. The reason why you use a Z-car for an upgrade like
this is because you get to take full advantage of its sharp
fully-independent suspension. Plus, there are upgrades like the
four-wheel power disc brakes and 15-inch ROH alloys that can hold
modern performance tires.
Distinct, powerful, and absolutely cool. You know you want this Pro
Street Z. So don't let this deal slip away. Call now!
